My name is benedict liu.

The three of you
are next.

What the hell?!
Professor, please,
let us explain.

The governor laundering money
in my own casino.

-We didn't mean to --
-you didn't mean to scam me?

I'm killing
the governor.

That's what the professor's
making you do?

Joe: He's got enough evidence
to incriminate all of us.

Polly: You're never
gonna get away with this.

I'm gonna make it
look like a suicide.

-I love you.
-I love you.

Uncle daddy:
They bought it was clint.

Hook, line, and sinker.
You're safe now.

I'm sorry
I went rogue, zaddy.

[ screams ] shit!
He's not breathing!

I'm so sorry.
There's nothing I can do.

-He's dead?
-[ crying ]

-[ screams ]
-no, no!

Grief makes people
unpredictable. She dies.

When were you
planning on doing it?

I'm not.
That's on you.

And if you don't...
This.

Tell me where the hell
my wife is.

She's dead.
Arlene is dead.

-No.
-Mac did it.

Sorry. I'm sorry.
I am sorry.

poor thing. I can't imagine
what she's going through.

I can. I thought I was gonna
lose bryce when zlata shot him.

Also, one time -- oh, my god.
Desna, remember this?

I got a call from the police
that bryce had gotten

his noggin stuck in the elevator
down at the old belk lindsey,

and I just knew for a fact
that, when I showed up,

his body would be
on the main floor

while his head
was traveling to lingerie.

Girl, that is not
the same thing.

Well, still,
it gave me a fright.

Des, you okay?

No.

I mean, I-I feel so bad
for what ann is going through.

It's a nightmare.

And the nightmare
got worse.

The professor wants me
to take melba out.

Out where? To the club?

Virginia.

He wants me to kill her.

-Wha-- what?!
-That doesn't make any sense.

We already paid him
the money back.

Yeah, we -- we fought the klan
for that guy.

I know,
but it's not enough, okay?

He's saying that -- that --
that -- that melba's grief

makes her unpredictable
or some shit like that.

-What?
-Oh, h-hold up.

But, des, you're really
not gonna do this, right?

Hell no, she's not.
Whatever we were gonna

get out of that casino,
it's not worth it, okay?

You need to cut bait.

I wish I could,
but I ain't got no choice.

If I don't do it, I die.

Oh, I mean, no offense, babe,
but, like, you're --

you're less of a hit woman
and more of a tit woman.

Shut up.
I killed somebody before, jenn.

Oh, my g-- ruval?
That's self-defense.

We're talkin' about some
premeditated shit right now.

Yeah, maybe y'all could
work something out.

Virginia, it's not a goddamn
layaway plan, alright?

What part of "my ass is gonna
be dead if I don't kill her"

don't you get?!

And who knows what's
gonna happen to y'all

once he done with me.

Melba's gotta go.

boo, shouldn't you
be in bed?

I've slept enough.
And after everything she's done,

melba deserves to die, and
I'm gonna do it for you, desna.

-Let me.
-Baby.

I appreciate that, ann,
but revenge is not

what you should be
thinking about right now.

My wife is dead!

And now I got to raise a kid
on my own, so...

Not on your own, ann. W-we'll be
there every step of the way.

You know what they say.
It ta-- it takes a nail salon.

Virginia: That -- that's right,
a-and your baby will have

so many aunties
and a fly-ass manicure.

Desna: And all we need you
to think about

is keeping
this baby healthy.

You don't understand what
losing her means to me.

-Ann, I'm sorry.
-Everything.

I am so --

I'm so, so sorry. Okay?

But I cannot
let you do something

that you're gonna regret.

Please.

Let me take care of it.

good morning, sunshine.

I wouldn't call it good.

I didn't sleep a wink
last night.

Really? Why?

Have you forgotten that
you and I assassinated

a major political figure
yesterday?!

What if we left
something behind?

A fingernail,
hair, fibers?

I can't go back to
the slammer again, joe.

I can't do that!

Easy, red. Keep cool.

I know benedict, okay?
This was all his idea.

He's not gonna let any of this
come back to him.

You seem pretty familiar
with this benedict gentleman.

Just how far back
do y'all go?

Leave it alone, polygon.

Let me see
if I understand.

You can put your penis
in my vagina,

we can murder
the governor of florida,

but you can't divulge how long
you've known benedict liu.

Did I get that right?

If I tell you,
swear you won't tell desna.

I'm a mole

I'm the one who told him
about mac and melba's

side hustle
with the governor.

Why would you do that?!

You brought him here,
and now arlene is dead,

not to mention
your mac-daddy.

All this
is your fault, joe!

I did-- I didn't know
he was gonna kill anyone.

Mac was like a father to me,

and when he adopted dean,
that destroyed me.

Oh, so they're both dead
because you were jealous.

Well, if that just doesn't
take the coffee cake!

I'm sorry, polly.

But you can't tell a soul
that I called benedict.
